Its that time of the month again where we begin to expect the full moon. The full moon for the month of November will occur Nov. 28th (tomorrow) at 9:46 a.m. Most months have a single full moon occurrence, but when we are lucky enough to have two full moons in one month the second is called a "Blue Moon". This happens, on an average, every 33 months or 2.7 years. Another odd fact about full moons; some months don't even see a full moon! This only happens in the month of February since it has less than the 29.5 day cycle of the moon. In the past decade there are only 4 February's without full moons, the latest being 1999. If you are looking forward to the next February without a full moon, here is a list of the upcoming years with a full moon-free Feb.; 2018, 2037, 2067, and 2094.
November's full moon by the way is the Full Beaver Moon!
